~Fly Me to the Moon~

Yes, I stole the title from Ol' Blue Eyes...

Take me by the hand,

          and fly me to the Moon

where fairies play

       & incandescent posies bloom

they dance on rainbows,

        skip on candy coated clouds

Take me on a Riverwalk

         when the sun dips for the night

we'll talk until the wee hours

               of  a new dawn's morn

under stars that glitter 

     with flushes of flashing harmony

perhaps a whisper or two

     whilst we dine on oysters & fine wine

Fill my head with notions of bliss, 

         & sweet forget~me~nots

if you ask me to dance

          perhaps, I'll take a chance

sweetly coo a melody for me

      adorning song worthy of a trance

we'll gaze at the sky, 

       see our own reflections

in the light cast

            upon our hearts in tune

If you take me by the hand, 

                   and fly me to the Moon

OMG This site is going to give me an aneurysm someday...I just spent fifteen minutes pouring my heart into this review cuz I was so touched by this poem, and the site glitches out and erases it...damn it...this is not the kind of thing I need happening to me today...anyways...

I will now try to retain the important bits the best I can: Any man who does not feel the need to extend a hand upon reading this piece is a fool...it reads like an invitation to an emotional utopia where romance is a sacred thing and not a game in which many people do not play fairly...I smiled at the feeling of innocence that pervades this piece and borders on playful, but it was a mournful smile as well, knowing that such innocence is often destroyed by bad apples before it has the chance to be enjoyed...wonderful work Mrs.R, you did a job on my heartstrings with this one :)

Oh I know Benji, makes me bonkers sometimes...woo, love 'emotional utopia', that's a poem in and of itself. Thanks for your glowing review my sweet friend! :-)

[kublakhan27]

I really love this one Frieda. I'm a hopeless romantic, so this one speaks to me. The way you work through the fantasy with the original phrase of "fly me to the moon" then skillfully bring it back to solidify the ending was excellent. Good job.

[Frieda P]

Wow from a hopeless romantic that's saying a lot, thanks Astro!

[Astro]

You're welcome Frieda.
